This family-owned brewery has been founded in 1828 by Fridolin Tschudi. It is nowadays run by the 5th generation and has 24 employees. Brews on a 60 hl installation. Its production output has remained very stable since the 70s (9'000 hl in 2017/2018) and has now been boosted since the end of the covid-era (11'000 in 2024). Almost all the production (95%) is sold in the canton of Glaris. The products were for a long time weak and unimaginative german-style beers but this recently changed. Offers 5 core beers and 3 seasonals in German styles as well as a ""Sagenbiere"" (legend) serie of 4 beers in so-called craft styles. Since recently also producing whiskies."
